Service was halted for nearly half an hour Monday on the CTA Red Line because of a person on the tracks on the South Side.
Trains were stopped in both directions shortly before 3:30 p.m. because of an “unauthorized person on the tracks” near the 47th Street station, 220 W. 47th St., according to a service alert from the CTA.
A CTA spokeswoman said power was cut and police responded to the area.
Police said officers were dispatched at 3:25 p.m. to check on a person’s well-being and removed someone from the tracks in the 4200 block of South Wentworth Avenue. It was not immediately clear whether the person was taken into custody or brought to a hospital.
The person was not injured, according to the CTA.
